Well, the Maynard Burn trail lived up to it's reputation although it wasn't too bad all things considered. Baldy had some great views, but the highlight of this particular peak for me was the scree ski descent on the way to Gray Wolf. Fun! Clouds has socked in everything below ~4000 ft but in was sunny up high so the scenery was terrific!

Went up the Maynard Burn way trail, Met a couple on the false summit who told me about the recently reopened Tyler peak way trail. It is by no means less steep, but seemed to be a better trail. I used it on the descent and would probably hike it again.

Wow...Maynard Burn was no joke! Steepest hike I have probably done. Made the saddle in two hours and then another 30 minutes to Baldy. Went off the top of Baldy on to Gray Wolf after a quick lunch. Beautiful day in the Olympics as usual.

Was planning on going to Gray Wolf, but the other climbers in my party were moving slow and didn't want to continue, so we just grabbed Baldy via the Burn Trail. Weather was foggy, so we couldn't see a whole lot from the summit (another reason to not go to Gray Wolf). Fun climb nonetheless. Would like to come back for some better weather with a possible camp high on the mountain!

I took the (STEEP) Maynard Burn Trail to the ridge below Baldy's false summit, and then summited Baldy from that location while en route to Gray Wolf Peak (Ridge). I then returned back to Baldy, and continued along the ridge to Peak B and Tyler Peak. Great views and great weather. Small wildflowers were just starting to bloom.

at the moment. I've climbed it a few times, narrowly escaping blisters on that damn fire break trail. This last time we climbed it we went on to summit Gray Wolf as well and the fields were in bloom with lupine, a heavenly sight!

Robbin, Dave and I did Gray Wolf first and then Baldy on the way back. We used the Maynard Burn trail this time since last time we followed the old Baldy trail. It was fairly warm for November and there were only a few patches of snow on the ground.
